The journey of nearly three days is neither too fast nor particularly slow. They arrived at Ningzhou Prefecture by late Shenshi, and because Qi Qian mentioned that the sick were staying temporarily in a villa outside the city, they did not enter Ningzhou Prefecture but went directly to that villa, only an hour's distance from Ningzhou Prefecture.
There they were, arriving at Canglan Villa which was built against the mountain, dusk had already set in, and the setting sun cast a golden light that made the villa's glazed roof tiles sparkle like gold.
In front of the villa's gate stood a middle-aged steward dressed in managing attire, leading several people waiting there. Upon seeing Qi Qian's carriage arrive, he respectfully came forward and knelt down to welcome them.
"The Commandery Prince has returned, the Old Princess Consort has been awaiting you for quite some time."
